Anticancer Activities of Hesperidin via Suppression of Up-Regulated Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression in Oral Cancer Cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Up-regulated expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) by interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) has been associated with promotion of cancer cell survival and tumor cell escape from anti-tumor immunity. Therefore, a blockade of PD-L1 expression can potentially be used as a molecular target for cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether suppression of IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression in two oral cancer cell lines, HN6 and HN15, by hesperidin effectively decreased cell proliferation and migration. Further, our objective was to elucidate the involvement of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and STAT3 in the inhibition of induced PD-L1 expression by hesperidin. Our findings indicate that IFN-γ induced expression of PD-L1 protein in HN6 and HN15 via phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 and that hesperidin significantly reduced that induction through suppression of phosphorylated STAT1 and STAT3 in both cell lines. Moreover, hesperidin also significantly decreased the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of both cell lines. In conclusion, hesperidin exerted anticancer effects against oral cancer cells through the suppression of PD-L1 expression via inactivation of the STAT1 and STAT3 signaling molecules. The findings of this study support the use of hesperidin as a potential adjunctive treatment for oral cancer.
